John Deere 830 Industrial - Big Problems
Encountered a couple of big issues while working on my John Deere 830-Industrial. First, I think the starting motor clutch is smoked, so I'll need to fix that. Second, the front bearing on the RH side is permanently installed. #johndeere #tractor #farming #diesel #mechanic #usa #restoration

Finally able to get my 1959 #johndeere 830-Industrial #tractor started using the pony motor. I needed to address a few issues, change the oil, and fix a few leaks, but both the #gasoline engine and the #diesel engines run very well. Still a few small adjustments that need to be made, but it is much better now than it has ever been. 1. First Time Seeing The Tractor: ua-cam.com/video/23mf8EhSrDk/...

    If no one else has commented on the Zenith carburetor that you didn't use on this Oliver; it is identical to the one on my Farmall B. Mine has a hairline crack in the exact same place, everyone says threat tape causes them to crack and you don't use it on those threads. JB weld slowed the leak but not a perfect fix, the thread tape also slows the leak; one of those six of this or half a dozen of that deals. Good work do what works for you.

      My 830-I is SN 8302443 and was shipped to Logan Utah on March 24th 1959. I've spoken with some historical JD experts and they told me that Deere built 127 830-I tractors total. 45 were point start (like mine) and 82 were E-start. Of the 45 830-Industrials that were built with a pony motor, they have only been able to locate 15 others that are still in existence. So I'm glad I was able to pull this one from a field (where it sat for at least 20 years) and give it another chance at life.

      We have a friend who has SN 8300014, so I am pretty sure it's one of the early ones too. Not sure if it's a 1959 or if the really early ones were 1958.

      I've thought about shims. But the more I think about it I suspect the gap been the face of the bearing and the axle nut is less than a couple thousands... So trying to slide a U shaped shim that's that thin in there without it bending up is going to be challenging.

      They might have one for an ag version. ButI would be very surprised if there was one for an industrial 830 like this. There were only about 150 industrial 830s made. And then a few more 840s that also used the same knuckle. But you're right, a swap for an undamaged knuckle would be the easiest replacement.

    The worry with the welded front spindle is that the metal has been crystallized and may be brittle enough to fail in operation. Hopefully the welding of the castellated nut was done in stages, not allowing the spindle end to get too hot.

    • @jonelsonster
      @jonelsonster 4 дні тому

      I thought of that. But the weld is out at the end of the axle where less load is applied. So I am counting on that too help me out. And I don't think the axle is a high strength steel that's been heat treated anyway, unless the weld was quenched, it should retain it's ductility.

  • @clydeschwartz
    @clydeschwartz 4 дні тому

    Excellent video the John Deere 830 sounds really good. The pony motor is not that hard to remove it has to come off to remove the clutch and transmission set up. Drain the diesel engine coolant and take the water and exhaust pipe off on top and the lower water pipe ahead of the belt pulley and a few wires and throttle linkage and gas line and it lifts straight up pretty much it weighs around 200 pounds or so. Keep in mind the clutch works opposite of a typical clutch the disk is floating when it is running until you force it between the flywheel and pressure plate to make it spin the diesel engine over. I did a John Deere 70 diesel tractor last year for a customer I rebuilt the pony motor and clutch and part of the transmission. It sure runs nice. As far as the hub and spindle that is like a semi or 2 ton you take out the king pin and the spindle can be chucked in a lathe and the nut turned off and a little welding and turning and then re thread the spindle and it good to go again. The wheel rim is like a Chevrolet 2 ton with 6 hole budd wheels the neighbor had a truck years ago with the same rims probably a 8.25x20 tire too.

    • @jonelsonster

      Very good info! Thanks! I have a spare pony motor and transmission from a 720, so the transmission is a little different.

    @weirddeere 4 дні тому

    Love every episode with the 830I! The pony transmission can technically be removed without removing the engine but honestly I don't think it will save any more work, it might actually make more. I know the pony rests on a dowel pin or two and I think the transmission does too, so you can't just slide it out. You'd have to lift the pony/transmission assembly to get the transmission off, and at that point just take it all off and make it easier. On your front spindle, I also think it'd last your lifetime plus, as it is. Your machine shop option is a good one. I do believe if you wanted to look around for one, you might get a replacement off an 840, it used the same thing, and there were more made. On swapping for an ag spindle, I've never compared, but they both use the same kingpins and bushings, so I believe it would be a straight swap, though your industrial front hub and wheel likely wouldn't fit

    Grind that nut off, weld and build it back up, then get a tap and die and rethread it

      I'm going to keep my eye on it and if the wheel/bearing starts to feel more sloppy, then that's what I'll have to do.

    Since it's the industrial version you could think multiple operator's and poor maintenance, which would explain that oil bath air cleaner being full of crud. Some guys look after the machines they operate, and some couldn't care less about greasing etc. It makes one wonder what happened to that spindle, an operator hit something breaking the cap off but how they could screw up the threads to the point of having to weld it on? But i agree, a machine shop should be able to put it in the lathe and get that nut off. Whether it would require welding or spray welding which was often done where i worked to build up damaged shafts etc., then rethread? Depends on what the machinist sees once he gets the nut off. I don't think you had a lot of play there although hard to tell in the video. Tractor runs nice though and i hope you get the pony motor drive sorted out.
